MANILA, Philippines — The Senate on Monday approved on third reading the proposed Marawi Siege Victims Compensation bill, legislation that is seen to help residents of the battle-scarred city build back after the 2017 siege.

 

"With 23 affirmative votes, no negative votes, no abstentions, SB 2420 is approved on third reading," Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III said in an online hearing on Monday.

 

If passed into law, the bill will create a Marawi Compensation Board that will be in charge of evaluating the compensation claims of survivors who lost their property in the intense fighting between security forces and the terrorist Maute Group. The board will have members from civil society organizations who will be representatives of Marawi residents on the panel, Sen. Risa Hontiveros, a co-author of the bill, said earlier this week.
